We actually remove the felt and clean and relube it....a real pain but we feel its worth it...

Well, I'm impressed!

Somehow I can't help but imagining a clothesline behind Bubba's house with rows and rows of tiny little felts drying in the wind

Hey Bubba,
Thanks much for sharing your vast knowledge/experience regarding distributors and their use in our hobby! You have validated my use of dielectric grease and belief in its benefits. I've used it for any and all electrical connection work that I do. I've never experienced any of the oxidizing and blackening of electric contacts/connections that you normally see in those after prolonged use. I also have increased auto and house bulb life with its use. I understand WD40 and will take your advice that way also. Hey, you may not know it but that wd40 is also excellent sprayed on fish lures/bait as attractant too,eh

The dielectric grease we use is made by 3M and a can lasts forever, a smaller portion is the MSD Spark guard.
Dielectric compound on trailer lights etc ( like a boat trailer) will insulate and water proof. The same compound used on a electronic module removes the air bubbles and allows heat to transfer.
Most late model car oems suggest using some form of dielectric grease in many applications...

Really? I'll have to try that. Anything I can do to hook up with some big ones I'll try.[/QUOTE]

Hey Tim,
It's true! But, I'd advise that , prior to use, you check with your state fish/game regs book to see if any prohibition against its use. Seriously, this stuff works so well and this was recognized by some f&g people and outlawed out here in some areas. Out here some will take your gear/vehicle and first old car(besides citation)..
I'm thinking of trying a different approach,eh...say dielectric grease

BTW- I use the dielectric made by Permatex.

Dielectric grease works well for catching Electric Ells
